BCNet-AB is an economical Ethernet communication processor designed to meet the increasing informatization needs of factory equipment (equipment network monitoring and production management). It is used in Rockwell MicroLogix 1000/SLC500/PLC- The Ethernet data acquisition of 5 series PLC is very convenient to build a production management system.
BCNet-AB adopts a modular design with communication lines. It does not occupy the PLC programming port, that is, while the programming software/host computer software monitors the PLC data through the Ethernet, the touch screen can communicate with the PLC through the multiplexing interface X2.
BCNet-AB Features:
- Installed on a 35mm guide rail, the COM1 port is directly connected to the PLC programming communication port (DF1 protocol). BCNet-AB requires an external 24VDC power supply.
- Integrate WEB server, set device parameters and run diagnosis through webpage or search tool, and set login protection password to prevent tampering with configuration data.
- Self-adaptive to Rockwell PLC programming port communication parameters, no additional settings are required.
- Integrated ModbusTCP server, support FC1, FC2, FC3, FC5, FC6, FC16, Modbus data area is automatically mapped to the data area of Rockwell PLC.
- Using ModbusTCP, it can realize high-level language (such as VB, VC, C#, etc.) programming, realize data communication with Rockwell PLC, and facilitate the development of production management system.
- The SCADA (upper configuration software) that supports OPC channel communicates with Rockwell PLC in OPC mode.
- Support up to 6 PCs to collect PLC data at the same time.
- Support firmware update on the user side through Ethernet, provide firmware with more functions for free, purchase hardware once, and upgrade permanently.
